Tanagra - The Path to Talmor lyrics

Dusk falls across the field The last shreds of scarlet fade away Cold mist closes in And Morhold is cloaked in velvet gray For a moment The world seems to be at peace The breeze through the valley Brings us sweet release But silence never lingers long in times of war With open eyes and bated breath We anticipate the roar And over the rush of the River of Runes The wise one's return is heralded By the sound of thundering hooves Thallion: We ride at dawn! Upon mighty steeds, our promise we'll keep! We've known all along Our cause is righteous We'll fight until the last hope is gone We charge southward As the day's first glow illuminates the sky The stillness of the morning Shattered by our battle cry On to Talmor For a preemptive attack Fate hangs in the balance We'll take the fortress back But behold, awaiting us Hidden in the haze, just across the plain Charging with fury and two thousand swords Delnen, the traitor thane One last fight The Earth shakes as forces meet Might makes right We'll never admit defeat Ambold: We must not let this one chance slip away I swear on my life Delnen's treachery will end this very day! The valley echoes with the din of pain The river runs red with the blood of the slain One by one, the dishonored fall We search for the thane, the cause of it all The traitor flees, pursued through his ranks Until his back is pinned upon the river bank Thallion: Delnen has one final chance! Crush the amulet and break his trance! With the spell broken and nowhere to run He must face the truth Delnen: By the gods, what have I done? We ride at dawn Upon mighty steeds, our promise we'll keep Our pa**ion is strong Even in the wake of betrayal We must battle on Delnen: You know what you must do Ambold: So much is lost because of you Delnen: I deserve to die Ambold: May the gods be more merciful than I... Delnen: I let my brethren die Crushed beneath the hordes of Mortulae Just to save my name Now I beg of you in all my shame Take my blade from me Strike me down, then take your kin and flee Turn and walk away Live to fight again another day Ambold: Tears will fill your eyes When you see the world through mine... Ambold: No! You will not escape this way You'll live with your guilt for the rest of your days You can never atone for your crimesYour punishment shall be to live on and fight on our side Dusk falls across the field The last shreds of scarlet fade away The river rushes on As the sun sets on another day We'll rest while we can Despite our grief, we must advance With our forces together We just might have a chance The quiet mourning on the battlefield Must be abandoned long before our wounds have healed For silence never lingers long in times of war And on the morn, we'll charge ahead Along the path to Talmor We ride at dawn Upon mighty steeds, our promise we'll keep We've known all along Our cause is righteous We'll fight until the last hope is gone
